What are some common reasons for negative Inventory

AI generated answer (using internal Slack threads):

Negative inventory in NetSuite can occur due to several reasons: 1. Multi-location inventory: If multi-location inventory is turned on after the account is already active, it can cause discrepancies in inventory count, leading to negative inventory. A Distribute Inventory transaction might be able to fix this. 2. Fulfillment preferences: Depending on how your fulfillment preferences are set up, NetSuite can allow you to fulfill beyond committed, which can lead to negative inventory. 3. Transaction deletion: If a transaction related to an item is deleted, it can cause the inventory count for that item to go negative. The best way to find the cause is to look at the item record and trace back through the history of the related records to see where things stop making sense. If the inventory is negative, then the item cannot be fulfilled. Therefore, if you see fulfillments at a time when the inventory appears that it would have been negative based on the history then you can expect something was deleted. 4. Lot numbered inventory: If your inventory is lot numbered, it should not allow negative quantity. However, if not transacted properly, it can still cause negative inventory.
